General Rate Provisions

(1) Approved Rates. The rates of payment for team evaluation services described in 101 CMR 330.00 are the lower of (a) the eligible provider's usual charge to the general public for the same or similar services; or (b) the rates of payment listed in 101 CMR 330.04. (2) Reimbursement as Full Payment. The rates of payment contained in 101 CMR 330.00 constitute full compensation for services rendered to publicly aided individuals as well as for administrative or supervisory duties associated with those services. Any third-party payments or sliding fees received on behalf of a publicly assisted client reduces, by that amount, the amount of the purchasing unit's obligation for services rendered. (3) Written Assessment Report. The provision of a written report in connection with a team evaluation assessment is considered an administrative duty associated with patient services for which, in accordance with 101 CMR 330.03(2), no additional payment will be received.
